LTTA results
The participants were people with visual and physical disabilities as well as youth workers and leaders with great knowledge and experience in the field of youth work and mobility projects! During the LTTA, the participants exchanged their personal experiences and gained new knowledge, methods and increased their capacities on the themes of the project and they have been trained on non-formal education, accessibility, empowerment and supporting methods in order to properly support young PwVHPI to participate more in learning mobility projects of Erasmus+, and being more active in their local community. Moreover, they maximized the learning impact on direct participants coming from the participating organizations and they increased their cross-sectoral cooperation skills by cooperating with staff members from the fields of youth, training and education, business.
Our new mission is to internally disseminate the learning results of the DARE LTTA and enhance the capacity building of each organization and local stakeholders involved in our project!
